About this fund
Robeco QI Emerging Markets Enhanced Index Equities is an actively managed fund that invests in stocks of emerging market companies. The selection of these stocks is based on a quantitative model. The fund's objective is to consistently achieve a better return than the Benchmark. The fund uses a quantitative stock selection strategy which ranks stocks on their expected future relative performance using multiple factors: value, quality, momentum, analyst revisions and short-term signals. Highly ranked stocks are overweighted against the Benchmark, whereas low-ranked stocks are underweighted, resulting in a well-diversified portfolio.
